Harry Mossalman

Friend & Business Owner (Pasha's)

Rachel has been my friend for many years, and most recently a business partner. Her character as a person is ethically one of the best. She dances in my restaurant simply because she is one of the greatest dancers of this time; you either have it or you don't! And I am happy to have her here. Rachel is a multi-award winning performer and I would refer her for any event that requested the highest level of professionalism and beautiful entertainment. Her artistic talent has entertained my clientele for years and she continues to mesmerize!

Tom Dickey

Audience Member - Utah

I do not say this in any manner to detract form other professional dancers. Many of those ladies have truly honed their dancing skills to a exceptional level. That of itself is well and good. Having said that,, Rachel has set the bar at a height I am starting to doubt any shall surpass, or equal for that matter. Never-the-less, my opinion is this. No matter how good you are today, you will always try to be better tomorrow. NEVER STOP REACHING AND TRYING.

Rachel George is a truly gifted teacher and performer, just finished my third week in her classes and I can really see a change in me already. She has connected so many dots, shown me the seeds of the dances I do, challenged me in ways I have always needed as a student. I leave her classes exhausted and excited for the next one. She has always been one of my favorite performers and I feel fortunate as hell to have her as a teacher. I like her so much I kinda don't wanna share cuz then there will be no room for me in her classes haha šŸ™‚ not! Totally joking....

We were referred to you by our mutual friend Housain Ghahramani. We just watched our wedding video and I wanted to thank you again and again for making our wedding extra memorable and fun! You are truly truly an AMAZING dancer and here I'm after 8 years telling you that my wedding guests, most of them from the middle east and North Africa, still talk about how amazing and fun your dance /entertainment was!! Thank you again and I wish you all the best in life!
